Unit 2: Elections

---

The election for the president of the USA always takes place on the same Tuesday in November.
The goverment of the United States is made up of two elected bodies, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Each of the 435 members of the House of Representatives represents a district. The population of the state determines the number of its representatives. Members are elected every two years. The Senate has only 100 members-two for each state, regardless of its size. Senators serve for six years, and every two years a third of their members are elected.
The House and the Senate are equal partners in legislation and a new law requires the consent of both bodies. However, each body also has got specific powers.

In Spain, general elections are held every four years. Each Spanish community also holds autonomous elections every four years. The government always chooses a Sunday as Election Day.
